Why you think that it will be step back? 

Who and why will waste money? Big companies use more IPs and will pay more.
This is very logical. They can reduce payments through optimisation
infrastructure, moving to IPv6, etc.
Small palyers will pay low. Medium will pay the same money.
  
Why you think that it will be huge disadvantage for European IT industry?

Could you tell not general words, but numbers? 

The same I can say the same words about current charging scheme, while small
LIRs pay too much.

The regulation in genereal the same - Dutch law. In case if RIPE will
transfrom to Corporate body - it will pay small corporate tax. In general
nothing bad will happend. Could you write what do you afraid?
